Rules
Note: We do not care if you were joking/messing around with a friend you will be punished accordingly in terms of the rules below. It is still a form of breaking the rules.
Note: If you have an alternate account you will still be punished through your main and alt accounts. Saying "My friend was on my account!" or "My account was hacked!" will get you no sympathy. We take punishment seriously and you will be treated accordingly.
Note: We have a warn system. You will be warned accordingly to each offense/fault before being kicked, muted or banned.

Forum Rules:
----------------------
All ranks must follow the rules below. After a certain amount of warnings received on the website you will be banned from the server's forums.
Do not post farm:
Post farming is when you make useless replies/threads to raise your post count. If you're caught or reported for post farming, your account will be reviewed by a staff member. That staff member will then deem your post as "post farming" or "not post farming" after looking at your post. If you continue after 2-3 warnings, your account will be forum banned.
Do not create threads about other servers:
All thread created on our forum must be about our server, and cannot include information (such as IP's, names, etc) in any message posted on our forum.
No inappropriate signatures:
Do not include anything inappropriate in your signature, such as racist gifs, etc.
Do not repeat things:
If a staff member has already left a reply on a topic addressing the issue at hand, do not reply with something such as "As <Staff Name> said, you have to....". That is considered post farming, and you will be punished according to that rule.
Do not appeal to a ban/mute multiple times:
Once your appeal has been denied once, do not post a second appeal. It will also be denied. If you fail to follow the rule after the warning, you will be PERMANENTLY forum banned.
Do not create alternate accounts to avoid a punishment:
Do not create an alt account to avoid your ban, warning, etc. Breaking this rule will result in a permanent ban on all of your forum accounts.
Do not argue:
Do not bring the other members of the community into your argument. If there is an issue with another player either report it or contact a online staff member. Otherwise take it to private message.
Do not post inappropriate art or profile pictures:
Please take into consideration that other players may be offended by what you are posting on the site. Also...think of the children!
That is it for the rules! If you have any questions or concerns please either contact me or another staff member, we will do our best to help you!
